And let's not forget about Samuelson and Bates. I really hope to see them back next year, and they could absolutely take 2nd spot. Shibutani's are really good, but they donot yet have the depth and maturity to be the top team quite yet.

Are the Shibs a top 10 team yet?

They might need to be this year to help the US qualify for three spots next year; and secure their third spot 2012 World team for themselves.
